Two footnotes ngram prints itself, and they matter: generation seconds measure premium AI-generated footage, not final video length, and the plan cards show an “equivalent” at the base rate — model choice and edit volume move the real number. Exports and plan-specific unlimited features do not consume credits (subject to a fair-use policy).
What do ngram credits cover?
One pool, shared across everything ngram does. Premium AI video generation is billed “from 10 credits per second”, so Basic’s 3,000 monthly credits are the reason the page can advertise “up to 300 seconds” — the arithmetic is the plan. Agentic video editing runs at 1 credit per second, which is what pays for the “point at a frame and ask for a change” workflow.
At 10 credits per second, the top-up ladder is the honest per-second price list hiding in the table: 1,000 credits cost $40 on the Free tier’s own rate, $20 once you are on Basic, $15 on Premium and $10 on Ultimate. In other words, the higher your subscription the cheaper your overflow — $0.10 per second of generation at the bottom of the ladder against $0.01 per second at the top.
The tiers are gated by resolution and identity, not just volume
- 720p is the Basic ceiling. Basic and Free both export 720p; 1080p starts at Premium and 4K only exists on Ultimate.
- Custom voices and avatars are a Premium feature. Premium includes one BrandKit, one custom voice and one custom avatar; both higher tiers advertise “unlimited”, and Ultimate is the first plan where you can invite teammates at all (Free through Premium are single-seat workspaces).
- Hosting is still rolling out. Video hosting, embeddable player and viewer engagement show up as “limited rollout” on ngram’s own comparison table, and Ultimate’s FAQ adds that polls, quizzes and CTA overlays work in supported shared playback, while downloaded MP4s stay plain videos. Watch-time and retention dashboards are explicitly not available yet.
- Interactive features do not survive download. If your plan depends on in-video polls or quizzes, they only work in ngram’s hosted playback.
Is there a free plan on ngram?
Yes — and it is the one number most likely to be misread. The Free plan is a one-time 600-credit allocation worth up to 60 seconds of premium AI-generated footage, not a monthly refresh; ngram’s own explainer-video guide (checked 2026-09-29) describes that output as a watermarked 720p export. For a creator who wants to try the workflow on a real script before paying, that is enough for one short explainer. For anyone hoping to publish free videos on a schedule, it is not a plan.
There is a separate lane for bloggers: ngram runs a Blog Partner Program where approved blogs get a free account and up to 100 of their posts turned into branded videos with a public link and embed code, earning money when readers upgrade. That is a distribution deal, not a general free tier.
Do ngram credits roll over?
Partly. Premium and Ultimate monthly credits roll over for one additional billing cycle, and annual plan credits remain available until renewal. Basic credits refresh monthly with nothing carried forward, and the Free plan’s 600-credit allocation never renews. ngram also states that running out is not a dead end — you can buy top-ups at any time or upgrade, with warnings before the balance hits zero.
How it works in practice
ngram’s own product walkthrough is a seven-step loop: describe the video in plain words → approve a scene-by-scene plan before anything is generated → watch narration, soundtrack, visuals and animation assemble → preview the result scene by scene against the storyboard → click a frame and describe the change (the example on the page is “get to this drop sooner”, after which ngram shortens scene 1 and calls it version 2) → take manual controls over captions, music and scene edits → download or share a link.
Source material it advertises: PDF and Markdown documents, images, URLs, presentations and screen recordings, plus a screen-capture path where it understands and edits the recording instead of only narrating over it. Integrations listed on the pricing page include a Chrome extension, GitHub, Zapier, n8n, an MCP server, and publishing to LinkedIn, X and YouTube. That MCP endpoint is the detail that makes it usable from an agent rather than only from a browser tab.
What we did not test
We have not created an ngram account, generated a video or compared output quality against any competitor — this is an official-information entry with no score. What cannot be known from the page: how faithfully ngram preserves the facts in your source document, how much of a plan’s advertised “seconds” a realistic script with revisions actually consumes, and whether the watermarked 720p free export is enough to judge the product. Those are the questions a paid month on Basic ($29) would answer, and a free one-time allowance will not.
